NGO Registration (Section 8) Services at Bangalore CSC

Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013, allows for the establishment of non-profit organizations that work for social causes such as education, health, environmental protection, and others. These NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) operate without the intention of profit, and their surplus income is reinvested to further their charitable objectives. Registering an NGO under Section 8 grants it legal recognition and the ability to raise funds, apply for grants, and function effectively in the charitable sector.

At Bangalore CSC, we provide expert assistance in the Section 8 NGO Registration process, ensuring that your NGO is legally registered and ready to fulfill its social goals.

What is Section 8 NGO Registration?

NGO registration under Section 8 refers to the process of registering a non-profit organization under the Companies Act, 2013. This provision allows the creation of a company with a primary objective of promoting social welfare, charity, science, education, religion, or similar activities, and prohibits distributing profits to members.

Once registered, the NGO is legally recognized, and its members are granted protection from personal liability. It can also apply for tax exemptions, grants, and other benefits from the government and other organizations.
